I use syslog-ng and that allows you to write a custom rule looking for the app that generated the log "[fcron]" and a string in the log entry "pam_unix(fcron:session)". You can then filter it out. However you do it, the solution is quite fragile and very specific to your setup. A general solution that works everywhere will be difficult to form. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
